It has been gorgeous in Portland for the last three days. Chilly mornings give way to beautiful bright afternoons at about eighty degrees (F), the sun dappling through the leaves. This makes it very hard to study, but I've been doing my best. Biology is tomorrow afternoon, and then I'm done!
Exam week is always kind of strange for me, a liminal space between classes and leaving. You still see your friends, though not as much - the girl you eat breakfast with every morning suddenly isn't up when you are - you sleep in or have an exam at eight; she does the same on different days. Midnight Breakfast screws up your dining schedule so that you're not in Commons at noon with your friends. People pack up and leave. It's a period that feels transient, strange, lonely but also full of community, and on top of it, you have exams.
For those of you also in exams, good luck!
For those of you who aren't, have a lovely day!
